plan minutes running out

ldvorak — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:56:56 GMT

I've been trying to figure out what plan works best for me and my currnet plan is going to run out of talk minutes. Can I add some for now until I cycle into a new plan for the next month? I am going to need to increase my plan obviously but the plan date is the 26th of the month....

@ldvorak Yes, you can buy an addon with extra mins.

You can buy a $5 Canadian wide add-on for 500 minutes....these minutes stay on your account and roll over every 30 days until used up.

Two steps to buy an add-on. Guide below.

@ldvorak You can purchase the 500 min add-on for $5 if you need more mins. These 500 mins will stay in your account until you fully used them all.

@ldvorak , if you are looking just for Canada wide minutes I would purchase the 500 Minute Canada calling add-on for $5 if you are looking for Canada and US or International the $15 400 minute add-on would work for you

You can purchase an add-on.

500 Canada-wide Long Distance minutes $5.

Make sure you add and purchase it.

You can always text the person to call you since incoming calls are unlimited and check your voicemail from another phone.

Hey @ldvorak

If you are just looking for canada wide minutes then the best option is to add

"$5 Canadian wide add-on for 500 minutes".

The minutes will stay/carry over on your account until you use all 500mins.

You can view all the plans Here.

I would also recommend you to upgrade your plan for the next renewal date.

So when 26 March hits you will automatically be switched over to the new plan.

Just log into Myself serve account and choose the new plan and click change on next renewal date.

Cheers

@ldvorak You can also add a voip app such as TextNow and use it over WiFi to make/ receive/send calls and texts for free. You can also use this to check your PM voicemail without using minutes from the same phone. Simply dial your PM phone number from the Textnow app - dismiss the call when it rings (this sends the call to voicemail) - press the * key to enable you to enter your password. - enter it - and viola you are in your voicemail account - Hang up when finished. No minutes used.

Unused Canada-wide add-on minutes won't be useful (or used) once you upgrade from $15 Limited Talk plan the $25 Unlimited Talk plan.

If your usage is consistent around or just barely over the 100 minutes ($15 plan) provision - and you don't use the extra data you'd get on $25 plan - then it would likely cost less overall to stick with (or return to) the $15 plan and purchase the $5 add-on every once in a while as needed.
